Jan 11 (Reuters) - The last Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces fighters have left Aleppo, Syrian state-run Ekhbariya TV said on Sunday.

The SDF head said the group had reached an understanding on a ceasefire and the evacuation of trapped civilians and fighters from Aleppo's Ashrafiyya and Sheikh Maksoud neighborhoods to northern and eastern Syria.
